Convenience store in Auckland

“had a few services and WOF done here!! staff are very friendly and they are very efficient !! there has been a time when they can't do a WOF for me, and they offered taking the car next door at the VTNZ store to get WOF done for me !! thumb up !!! my go to service for my vehicles!!”

“Super professional and super cool staff. As an inexperienced driver with minimal knowledge of cars, I felt my car was shaky and needed someone to check it. Rob and his team inspected my car and confirmed that there was no issue. I got peace of mind! Highly recommend them for car checkups and great service.”

“Always good service and a good range of products. They usually stock locally sourced timber when they can. Good trade account service and deliveries too”

“Outstanding delivery. The driver was helpful, fast and gave me a great service.”

“I love this store. Very clean, tidy shelving, easy to find items. The isles are quite wide for a small store, so no one bumps into each other. Produce is fresh. Meat selection is good. It has this really calming feel for simmering so stressful for me as grocery shopping.”

“Pak’nSave Albany is one of the bigger branches on the North Shore, and it definitely shows. The store is spacious, fairly modern, and usually well-stocked, making it a popular choice for families and bulk shoppers. It keeps to the classic Pak’nSave model — low prices, minimal decor, and a focus on practicality over presentation — but the Albany location feels a bit more polished than some of the older ones. The layout is easy to follow, with wide aisles and clear signage, so you’re not bumping trolleys every few seconds. The shelves are usually full, especially earlier in the day, and there’s a decent range of both budget brands and the more well-known labels. Prices are, as expected, very competitive. You’ll find good specials across most departments, and if you’re shopping for a big household, it’s one of the better options to keep costs down. The fresh produce section is generally reliable. Some days the quality is top notch, other times it’s more average — pretty normal for Pak’nSave. The meat section offers good value and a decent selection, and the bakery is basic but has all the essentials. There’s also a reasonable selection of international foods, which reflects the local community well. Staff are usually friendly enough, though it’s mostly a self-service experience unless you go looking for help. Checkout times are fairly efficient, with a good number of lanes open during busy periods and a decent set of self-service checkouts for smaller shops. The carpark is big, but it does fill up, especially on weekends. That said, it’s well laid out and doesn’t feel like a fight to find a spot, even when it’s busy. Being close to other stores and amenities makes it easy to combine errands in one trip. One thing to note, like at other Pak’nSaves, is that what’s advertised online might not always match what’s in store, so it’s worth shopping with a bit of flexibility. All up, Pak’nSave Albany is a good choice if you want decent prices, a clean store, and enough space to do a full shop without feeling crammed in. It’s practical, reliable, and does exactly what you’d expect — no frills, just solid savings.”

“I absolutely loved your Portuguese tarts — they were the best! I’ve been looking for them lately but can’t seem to find them. Where have they gone? Hope to see them back soon!”

“Staff are super friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. In store butcher is one of the best around, parking can be a bit hectic at times but they're truly a part of the Birkenhead and wider North Shore community.”

“A really lovely young man on the checkout today. He's always so pleasant and friendly. Beautiful smile. A pleasure to see a young person who can engage in conversation and provide quality customer service...the pies are good too.”

“Raced into Farmers (Nor west) to update my foundation. However I had my product wrong name. Any other assistance could have said- no, we don't have that, but Mina (beautiful Persian woman) went the extra mile to find out what I actually wanted, and sourced the product from another counter. Her gracious manner throughout, reminded me that purchases for myself deserve to be less hurried and to enjoy taking time for me.”

“A first time visit. I couldn't find two or three items. One of the staff went with me, took the items from the shelves and into my trolley. Asked if I needed something else. I had done my shopping, so thanked him. I liked the place so much, I bought a few extras.”

“Great shop for our Asian grocery needs in Silverdale. Friendly and helpful staff with a decent range of products. Glad they relayed the store to have more Asian grocery and less f&v... saves us a trip to Albany for our Asian shopping.”

“The asian lady that served me was wonderful. A great deal and she made it even better. Sleeping bag and bed.”

“I have known Neil and Lee Ann for over 13 years on a professional level. They have always offered up great service everytime. They have addressed any issues I've had and I have had no problem referring them to my family and friends as my mechanical professionals to anyone looking for a good quality workshop and WOF center. Highly recommended more so if you own any age Holden. I take all my cars there. Sometimes you have to travel in order to find good professional service.”

“Happy with service and WOF, transparency of the workshop, efficiency and how as a customer I was treated. Would absolutely return and recommend. We came here due to a very negative experience with a dodgy workshop at the new car dealer we purchased our car from, and I learned the hard way those guys are untrustworthy and should never service a car outside of the initial service agreement.”

“Well-stocked and priced fairly for a dairy. Very friendly owners”

“Pleasant friendly staff that went above and beyond yesterday very clean well stocked shop. I often go on a Wednesday and the customer service is the best”

Prices are reasonable, and the weekly specials often include good deals on essentials. Overall, a solid choice for your regular grocery shop.”

“This liquor store offers a fantastic selection of wines, spirits, and craft beers, catering to all tastes and budgets. The layout is clean and easy to navigate, making it simple to find exactly what you’re after. Staff are knowledgeable and genuinely helpful, offering great recommendations without being pushy.

“Awesome team down here! I’ve been here multiple times, I would especially like to say thanks to Natasha! My wife bought our newborn in as we had a few issues with our current capsule (son not happy in it). Natasha spent quite a long time helping my wife find a capsule more suited to our boy, even through his tantrums. Again thank you to the team and we will see you again soon!”
